"THE THINGS WE DID AND DIDN'T DO"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS 

 All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know
that you told me just to tell me later that you'd told me so
come flooding back to me now Come on Come flooding back to me now
All the things you said you'd never say and you said anyway
The things we did and didn't do The things we did and didn't do
come flooding back to me now

 

"PARADES GO BY"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS 

I'll linger here
Your ring upon my finger, dear
And sing till dawn
A song of you and me and what and why
For time is all
I have to keep
Between these walls
And half asleep
The days go by
A million little nights
And days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
I'll sit and stare
How could I venture anywhere?
And let the centuries fall where they may
But never die
For I have loved
And so I lost
The world above
Beyond the moss
The days go by
A million little nights
And days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
The days goes by
(Goes by)
Parades go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
(Parades go by)
Parades go by
Leave me behind

 

"I THINK I NEED A NEW HEART"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS

 
Time stands still
All I can feel is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say, "don't call me please"
While the radio plays
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
You've lied, too
But it's a sin that I
Can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
So the radio plays
I think I need a new heart
Just for you
I think I need a new heart
'Cause I always say, "I love you"
When I mean, "turn out the light"
And I say, "let's run away"
When I just mean, "stay the night"
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say "happy anniversary"
Never stay to say "happy anniversary"
So I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
Give me time

"ROSEMARY LANE"

BERT JANSCH 

 

When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the goodwill of my master and did I
Till a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery
He called for a candle to light him to bed
And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head
To tie up his head as sailors will do
And he said my pretty Polly will you come too
Now this maid being young and foolish she thought it no harm
For to lie into bed to keep herself warm
And what was done there I will never disclose
But I wish that short night had been seven long years
Next morning this sailor so early arose
And into my apron three guineas did throw
Saying take this I will give and more I will do
If you'll be my Polly wherever I go
Now if it's a boy he will fight for the king
And if it's a girl she will wear a gold ring
She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane
When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the goodwill of my master and did I
Till a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

 

 "TELL ME, WHAT IS TRUE LOVE"

BERT JANSCH

 Tell me, what is true love?
Tell me, how shall I know?
Shall there be a sign, like Autumn
That brings the Winter snow?
Well love is like a little boy
Building castles in the sand
And the higher he builds them
The longer they stand.
And if someone did shoot down
The white snowy dove
Then your heart is filled with sorrow
Like the pain of true love.


"GO YOUR WAY MY LOVE"

BERT JANSCH 

 Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass.
Walking homeward my mind is filled with pain,
Woe is me.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 And as I wander through the trees
Picking up the windy leaves,
Looking where you may be sleeping now,
I wanna die.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 As I sit mending your clothes
That you will never ever wear,
Looking daily for you I do prepare
But woe is me.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 Is there walking some far land
And have you gone to lend your hand,
And do you lie broken and dying now
I wanna die.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass.
Oh woe.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 "BRING YOUR RELIGION"

BERT JANSCH

 

"A WOMAN LIKE YOU"

BERT JANSCH 

 I don't believe I have seen
A woman like you anywhere
And I must admit that I can't see
My making you into a dream

But if I had a magic wand to wave
I'd send a dove to catch your love
And I'd send a blackbird to steal your heart

And a broken heart won't cure my endless search, little girl
I'm going to fix a magic spell to weave on you little girl
L for the long grass to catch you in
O for the orange that sweetens sin
V for this very moment
E for thee

I'd rather wait and die
A thousand times little girl
Than take a woman into
the heart of my soul

And if I catch you sleeping all unawares
I'll carry you off to my secret lair
There I'll bind your heart to my very soul

I don't believe I have seen
A woman like you anywhere
And I must admit I can't see
May making you into a dream

And if I had a magic wand to wave
I'd send a dove to catch your love
And I'd send a blackbird to steal your heart

"AUTUMN GOLD"

ANDY IRVINE & PAUL BRADY 

 My mood is clothed in Autumn’s shades
My summer sun begins to fade
Fading away with the waning year
Changing my tempo now Autumn is here

Time to leave my friends behind
I leave this town with you on my mind
The dead leaves are burning, the year is decaying
Winter returning, no use in delaying
One week ago we walked by here
I never dreamed life’s death was so near
We laughed and played the summer through

The sun is going and I must go too
Autumn Gold, then Winter snow
The sun goes south but it's north I must go
Leaving this town and the friends that I know
It’s late in the year - there’ll be ice and snow
When the sun returns I’ll come back too
I’ll write a song and I’ll sing it for you

 "AIN'T GOT NO, I GOT LIFE"

NINA SIMONE

 I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no God

And what have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away?

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobs
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood

I've got life, I've got my freedom
I've got the life

I've got the life
And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life


 "THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN"

NINA SIMONE

 There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one

If I had only listened of what my mama said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray

Now, my mother is a tailor
She sews those new blue jeans
And my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord
Drinks down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a drunken man needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Lord, is when he's on the drunk

Somebody go get my baby sister
Tell her to do, not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun

Well, I'm goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
Yes, I'm goin' back to spend my life
Beneath, beneath, the rising sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one

If I had only listened of what my mama said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray

"DAY AND NIGHT"

NINA SIMONE 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O3w5TSChIY    
 When you like a fellow
Try to treat him right
Give him your attention
Day and Night

When he starts to smilin'
And he's got you uptight
Shower him with kisses
Day and night

Tell him how you love him
Tell him he's out of sight
Then he'll know you dig him
Day and night

If he wants to leave you
And you think he might
Beg him not to leave you
Day and night

Tell him that you're lonely
Tell him that you're cold
Tell him that you need him
Here to (Satisfy your soul)

If he likes to dance now
Tell you what you do
When you see him comin' down the street
You start to (Do the bungaloo)

Oh no, even when he's wrong
Tell him that he's right
You can take the blame
Both day and night

 "MY MAN'S GONE NOW"

NINA SIMONE

 My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

He come aroud
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' togheter
To the promised land

But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tell' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man

Since I lose my man

 "THOSE MIGHTY BEASTS OF HOLM"

CAHALEN MORRISON

 In the year 1918 when the war came tumbling down
All men that were spared were home to Scotland bound
The foaming shores of France all churned and lay there washed in red
The mauled the mamed on a namely ship instead

Across the channel wide and to the north she did sail
A sea of fire couldn’t slow her down, nor could the strongest gale
She sailed away from Kyle of Lochalsh on the last day of the year
Filled with all the eager boys, she was Lewis bound to steer

The sails were full on the Iolaire, as an eagle spreads it’s wings
They cut across the Minch’s deep, feeling rich as any king
But as the lights of the harbor came, as a beacon in the night
The waves they crashed and the sea it roared and they saw a dreadful sight

The captain cried an awful noise, a name they’d heard before
Then a sound came thundering like death knocking at your door
Below the waves all sleeping still, for nowhere did they roam
They’d laid in wait, like some crooked fate, those mighty Beasts of Holm

As the sea came rushing in, and the ship was sinking fast
Two hundred weary sailors swam and saw their home the last
Their leather boots like cannonballs pulled and tugged them down
And who the war had spared, the sea it claimed them now

In the year 1919, the first of days to come
The Iolaire in the harbor sat, for this war had not been won
The mast it stood one hundred yards, like a branch up toward the sky
The last tree out on Lewis stood, as tall and sad goodbye

All the island mothers walked, and combed the windy shores
Sons washed up one by one in twos and threes and fours
Below the waves all sleeping still, for nowhere did they roam
They’d laid in wait, like some crooked fate, those mighty Beasts of Holm


 "DANSA DE LA PRIMAVERA"

MARIA DEL MAR BONET

 

Febrer m'ha duït la carta tan precisa
Vol que els lilàs s'obrin pels dits
I, en el cor, m'hi creixi una palmera
Què exigent que ve la primavera!
Què exigent que ve la primavera
I el meu cor tan malaltís
Tenc por que es cremi dins de la foguera
No puc desfer-me del seu encís
No puc desfer-me del seu encís
Obrir les branques i ballar amb ella
Pentinar-me al seu vent la cabellera
Cantar les llunes de les seves nits
Cantar les llunes de les seves nits
Cantar vermells de la tardor
Cantar el silenci de la nova neu
Cantar, si torna, el dolorós amor
Cantar, si torna, el dolorós amor
I créixer un poc més en l'intent
I créixer un poc més cada entretemps
Volar amb el vent i les noves llavors
Volar amb el vent i les noves llavors
Qui sap on el vent em portarà
A dins el cor d'una terra antiga
O creixeré al fons de la mar
Febrer m'ha duït la carta tan precisa
Vol que els lilàs s'obrin pels dits
I, en el cor, m'hi creixi una palmera
Què exigent que ve la primavera
Què exigent que ve la primavera
I el meu cor tan malaltís
Tenc por que es cremi dins de la foguera
No puc desfer-me del seu encís

"IF I WERE A CARPENTER"

JOHNNY & JUNE CARTER CASH 

 

"IF I WERE A CARPENTER"

BOBBY DARIN 

 

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby?
If you were a carpenter
And I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you
I'd be carrying the pots you made
Following behind you
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a miller
And a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shining?
If you were a miller
And a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse
And my soft shoes shining
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands on wood
Would you still love me?
I'd answer you yes I would
And would you not be above me?
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow

 

 "COTTON CANDY (ON A SUMMER DAY)"

LEONARD NIMOY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVVxe8hiKyk 

Cotton candy on a summer day,
Green grass on a hillside.
Could they turn my love around?
Could they bring her back to my side?
She walked to him and turned my mind,
All the roads leading outside,
Unkind, intertwined and blind.
Can love help to bring her inside?
Thoughts in limbo, silent sounds,
The pendulum has swung to his side.
Confetti teardrops, marshmellow clouds
Might bring her back to my side.
If I could have my loved one by my side,
I'd comfort her, I'd sing to her.
Cotton candy on a summer day,
Green grass on a hillside.
Could they turn my love around?
Could they bring her back to my side?

"MAIDEN WINE"

LEONARD NIMOY  

Take care, young ladies, and value your wine. Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime. Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs; then swiftly begone, leaving bitter dregs. Ah, bitter dregs. With smiling words and tender touch; man offers little and they ask so much. He loves in the breathless excitement of night; then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light. Ah, in cold morning light.
